FEBUARY 2018 - New product information

BMW PARTS NOW IN STOCK (BMW R65, R80, R100)

VANEM now has a range of parts for the popular BMW airheads. Parts include a high quality Japanese-made bolt on subframe kit for BMW Mono shock bikes made by OUTLOUD Moto Japan. You can match the subframe kit with an SR400 Nitroheads seat from our selection or use the subframe kit with a rear fender + seat or use the subframe kit with the bolt on OUTLOUD fenderless kit and the seat of your choice etc.

The subframe design allows for various fit up options to suit the style you are looking for. The kit is designed for use with the factory BMW tank and is compatible with all of the Nitroheads SR400/500 seats that we sell. The seats are easily installed and allow for many variations. The matching fenderless bracket is available for the subframe kit as a bolt on addition (bought separately). We have several suitable taillights to fit if required. If you decide to change the look later on, you can add a fender, or add your own loop.

The bolt on kit can be removed easily in future, (unlike welded on fabrication that are difficult to revert back to normal). The new subframe kit is made in Japan and maintains a high quality finish..The kit is designed to be an easily bolted on part that can be fitted with basic hand tools.

Full details will be within our new BMW parts section due soon (MARCH 2018). See release images below. The kits are now in stock (in AUST.) so we welcome any enquiries. Other parts for the BMW (dedicated and universal items) will also be be added as our range for the airheads establishes.

• Subframe body for BMW mono lever × 1
• Inner fender plate - (made of aluminum) × 1 
• Includes bolts & nuts to install
• Weight: about 2.5 kg (sub frame kit only)
• Compatible with all Nitroheads SR400 custom seats (Cafe and Flat) & also other SR seats (with addition of SR seat rubbers for some seats).

Compatible models: The kit is a bolt on to the mono lever model of BMW R100RS R80 R65 manufactured from 1986 to 1992.The installation position is the same as the genuine seat rail (3 points bolted) and fits with the original tank (use of long tanks or other will require extra work).

Note: It may be necessary to process & make slight adjustments to the mounting points due to individual differences on each bike - (hole position) etc.

Other parts:

Within the BMW parts pages on our website (Due March 2018) we will include the popular RR temp gauges (275mm & 285mm in stock - white face). A range of headlights, brackets, fenders and usable universal parts will also be offered (such as electrical gauge kits, VELONA80 etc.). Later in 2018 BMW exclusive 22mm bars (not 22.2mm or 7/8) may be added and there is a possibly a twin shock subframe kit will be added if demand is sufficient - (to be advised).

A V-shaped bracket is included in the kit for easy installation, see images below for contents of the kit and see the lower right image for link to the YouTube clip which shows full operation.
